I'm not talking about changing HISTORY files, but for incomplete
commits to revert the incomplete commit and re-commit with *all* the
intended changes.
Example:
I update linux to 2.6.99-42wow by adding info/patches/wow/2.6.99-42wow
and updating HISTORY. I commit and push. Later I realize I forgot the
GPG signatures, so instead of just adding them, committing, and
pushing, I *should* revert my linux update to 2.6.99-42wow, redo my
changes (if I use `git reset` properly I won't have to redo anything
other than what I missed), add the signatures, commit and push. This
way the entire 2.6.99-42wow update is available in one commit id,
rather than two (or more).
I'm not talking specifically about your change Thomas, just FYI. ;) I
just had time and the inclination to bring this subject up as I was
reading yours and it happened to exhibit some of the behaviour I'm
talking about.
